Wind turbine coating helps the American wind energy industry. In 2017, wind power in the US accounted for more than 6% of all generated electrical energy. Fourteen states have 10% or more of their energy generation coming from wind power. Wind turbines in distributed applications are found in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the US

The most technologically complex part of the turbine for coatings producers are the blades, which can rotate at speeds of around 200 kilometres (124 miles) per hour. "Protection of turbine blades in offshore environments is proving to be an interesting coating opportunity," said O''Brien. "Offshore winds, by definition, mean

The ArcGuide® Solution. Whenever there is lightning activity surrounding a wind turbine, there is a competition between the streamers that form inside the blade and those that form at the lightning receptors on the outside surface of the blade. The ArcGuide® coating modifies the surface of the blade to make it more likely that the streamers that form at the

T. Luo et al. used a fluorocarbon resin as the main film-forming substance and TiO 2, SiO 2 and micro-nano composite particles as fillers to prepare a suitable ice-phobic coating for wind turbine blades. The results show that fluorocarbon coupling agents can improve the hydrophobic property of the material and increase the contact angle to

The Wind Turbine Blade (WTB) coating is a protective layer that sustains repeated raindrop impacts. These impacts cause cyclic stresses, fatigue, and the resulting erosion of the leading edge of the blade coating. The high-intensity rains in India make this problem more critical. The presence of voids (manufacturing defects) in the coating
